An engineer who likes tinkering with junk.
My name is Adam Wilson. I am an electronics engineer specialising in embedded systems design, including hardware, software, and firmware design & development – predominantly for ARM Cortex-based MCUs and Xilinx FPGAs.
I studied BEng Electronic Engineering and MSc Digital Systems Engineering at the University of York, graduating in 2018; my undergraduate placement was with SSI UK at the Redcar Blast Furnace, formerly owned by British Steel, working with their electrical and C&I teams in the weeks running up to the plant’s closure.
I then spent two years in a graduate role as a software engineer in marine power and automation – I commissioned systems close to home and across the world, including the Harland and Wolff dockyard in Belfast, UK, Cammell Laird dockyard in Liverpool, UK, and the Port of Bahia Blanca in Bahia Blanca, Argentina.
I then spent five years working in product development for IoT and healthcare applications, supporting businesses through commercial and R&D projects to bring innovative and technically challenging ideas to market.
I’m currently working in product development for radiation detection and process diagnostics in the oil and gas industry, having taken a move back into heavy industry.
In my spare time, I like to read, play video games, and refurbish vintage electronics. I volunteer monthly at a local repair café, and I’m a qualified PADI Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air SCUBA diver.
I’m based in the North East of the UK, but I have done business with happy buyers all over the world.
